Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Lichtquelle mit einem Licht emittierenden Element, das in einem ersten Spektralbereich, vorzugsweise im blauen und/oder ultravioletten Bereich des optischen Spektrums, emittiert, und mit einem Luminophor. Der ausgewählte Luminophor kann auch in Mischungen mit anderen Luminophoren dieser Gruppe und/oder mit weiteren Leuchtstoffen, die nicht zu dieser Gruppe gehören, eingesetzt werden.The present invention relates to a light source having a light-emitting element which emits in a first spectral range, preferably in the blue and / or ultraviolet range of the optical spectrum, and with a luminophore. The selected luminophore may also be used in mixtures with other phosphors of this group and / or with other phosphors not belonging to this group.

Das Licht emittierende Element ist vorzugsweise eine anorganische LED, es kann aber auch eine organische LED, eine Laserdiode, eine anorganische Dickschichtelektrolumineszenzfolie oder ein anorganisches Dünnschichtelektrolumineszenzbauelement sein.The light-emitting element is preferably an inorganic LED, but it may also be an organic LED, a laser diode, a thick film inorganic electroluminescent film, or a thin film inorganic electroluminescent device.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Anorganische LEDs zeichnen sich unter anderem durch hohe Lebensdauer, geringen Platzbedarf, Erschütterungsunempfindlichkeit und spektral engbandige Emission aus.Inorganic LEDs are characterized among other things by high durability, small footprint, vibration insensitivity and spectral narrow-band emission.

Zahlreiche Emissionsfarben - speziell spektral breitbandige - können mittels der intrinsischen Emission eines aktiven Halbleitermaterials in LEDs nicht oder nur ineffizient realisiert werden. Vor allem trifft dies auf die Erzeugung von weißem Licht zu.Numerous emission colors - especially spectrally broadband - can not be realized by the intrinsic emission of an active semiconductor material into LEDs or only inefficiently. Above all, this applies to the generation of white light.

Gemäß dem Stand der Technik werden Emissionsfarben, welche mit dem Halbleiter intrinsisch nicht realisiert werden können, mittels Farbkonversion erzeugt.According to the prior art, emission colors, which can not be realized intrinsically with the semiconductor, are produced by means of color conversion.

Im Wesentlichen basiert die Technik der Farbkonversion auf dem Prinzip, dass zumindest ein Luminophor über dem LED-Die angeordnet wird. Dieser absorbiert einen Teil der vom Die emittierten Strahlung und wird dabei zur Photolumineszenz angeregt. Die Emissions- bzw. Lichtfarbe der Quelle ergibt sich dann aus der Mischung der transmittierten Strahlung des Die und der emittierten Strahlung des Leuchtstoffes.In essence, the technique of color conversion is based on the principle that at least one luminophore is placed over the LED die. This absorbs part of the emitted radiation and is thereby excited to photoluminescence. The emission or light color of the source then results from the mixture of the transmitted radiation of the die and the emitted radiation of the phosphor.

Als Luminophore können grundsätzlich sowohl organische als auch' anorganische Systeme eingesetzt werden. Der wesentliche Vorteil anorganischer Pigmente liegt in der höheren chemischen, Temperatur- und Strahlungsstabilität im Vergleich zu organischen Systemen. Im Zusammenhang mit der hohen Lebensdauer der anorganischen LEDs sichern langlebige anorganische Luminophore eine hohe Farbortstabilität der aus beiden Komponenten bestehenden Lichtquelle.In principle, both organic and inorganic systems can be used as luminophores. The main advantage of inorganic pigments lies in the higher chemical, temperature and radiation stability compared to organic systems. In connection with the long life of the inorganic LEDs, long-lived inorganic luminophores ensure a high color stability of the light source consisting of both components.

Soll die von blau emittierenden LEDs ausgesendete Strahlung in weißes Licht konvertiert werden, werden Leuchtstoffe benötigt, die das blaue Licht (450-490 nm) wirkungsvoll absorbieren und mit hoher Effizienz in größtenteils gelbe Lumineszenzstrahlung umwandeln. Allerdings gibt es nur eine geringe Anzahl anorganischer Luminophore, die diese Anforderungen erfüllen. Derzeit werden zumeist Materialien aus der YAG-Leuchtstoffklasse als Farbkonversionspigmente für blaue LEDs eingesetzt ( WO 98/05078 ; WO 98/05078 ; WO 98/12757 ). Diese weisen allerdings den Nachteil auf, dass sie nur bei einem Emissionsmaximum kleiner als 560 nm eine genügend hohe Effizienz besitzen. Aus diesem Grund können mit den YAG-Pigmenten in Kombination mit blauen Dioden (450-490nm) nur kalt-weiße Lichtfarben mit Farbtemperaturen zwischen 6000 und 8000 K und mit vergleichsweise niedriger Farbwiedergabe (typische Werte für den Farbwiedergabeindex Ra liegen zwischen 70 und 75) realisiert werden. Daraus ergeben sich stark eingeschränkte Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Zum einen werden bei der Anwendung von Weißlichtquellen in der Allgemeinbeleuchtung in der Regel höhere Anforderungen an die Farbwiedergabequalität der Leuchtmittel gestellt, und zum anderen werden von den Konsumenten vor allem in Europa und in Nordamerika wärmere Lichtfarben mit Farbtemperaturen zwischen 2700 und 5000 K bevorzugt.If the radiation emitted by blue-emitting LEDs is to be converted into white light, phosphors are required which effectively absorb the blue light (450-490 nm) and convert it into mostly yellow luminescence radiation with high efficiency. However, there are only a small number of inorganic luminophores that meet these requirements. Currently, materials from the YAG phosphor class are mostly used as color conversion pigments for blue LEDs ( WO 98/05078 ; WO 98/05078 ; WO 98/12757 ). However, these have the disadvantage that they have a sufficiently high efficiency only at an emission maximum less than 560 nm. For this reason, the YAG pigments in combination with blue diodes (450-490nm) can only produce cold-white light colors with color temperatures between 6000 and 8000 K and with comparatively low color rendering (typical values for the color rendering index Ra are between 70 and 75) become. This results in very limited applications. For one thing, in the application of White light sources in general lighting usually made higher demands on the color rendering quality of the bulbs, and on the other hand are preferred by the consumer, especially in Europe and North America warmer light colors with color temperatures between 2700 and 5000 K.

Aus der WO 00/33389 ist weiterhin bekannt, u.a. Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ als Luminophor zur Konvertierung des Lichtes blauer LEDs zu verwenden. Das Maximum der Emission des Leuchtstoffes Ba2SiO4:Eu2+ liegt aber bei 505 nm, so dass mit einer solchen Kombination mit Sicherheit kein weißes Licht erzeugt werden kann.From the WO 00/33389 It is also known, inter alia, to use Ba 2 SiO 4 : Eu 2+ as the luminophore for converting the light of blue LEDs. However, the maximum of the emission of the phosphor Ba 2 SiO 4 : Eu 2+ is 505 nm, so that with such a combination with certainty no white light can be generated.

In der Arbeit von S.H.M. Poort et al: "Optical properties of Eu2+-activated orthosilicates and orthophospates", Journal of Alloys and Compounds 260 (1997), S 93-97 werden die Eigenschaften von Eu-aktiviertem Ba2SiO4 sowie von Phosphaten wie KBaPO4 und KSrPO4 untersucht. Auch hier wird festgestellt, dass die Emission von Ba2SiO4 bei etwa 505 nm liegt.At work by SHM Poort et al: "Optical properties of Eu2 + -activated orthosilicates and orthophosphates", Journal of Alloys and Compounds 260 (1997), pp 93-97 the properties of Eu-activated Ba 2 SiO 4 and of phosphates such as KBaPO 4 and KSrPO 4 are investigated. Again, it is found that the emission of Ba 2 SiO 4 is about 505 nm.

WO 97/50132 offenbart eine Lichtquelle mit einem LED-Chip, der auf einer Leiterplatte innerhalb einer Ausnehmung eines Grundgehäuses angeordnet ist. Die Ausnehmung ist hinsichtlich ihrer Form als Reflektor für die von dem LED-Chip im Betrieb ausgesandte Strahlung ausgebildet. Über dem Reflektor ist eine Lichtscheibe mit einem Luminophor angeordnet, da die Ausnehmung von einer Lumineszenzkonversionsschicht, beispielsweise eine separat hergestellte und auf dem Grundgehäuse befestigte Abdeckplatte, abgedeckt ist. Der LED-Chip ist mit Einkapselmittel vergossen, da die Ausnehmung mit einem transparenten Kunststoff oder einem anorganischen Glas gefüllt sein kann. WO 97/50132 lehrt auch eine Mehrzahl von spektral selektiv emittierenden Lumineszenzkonversionselementen relativ zum LED-Chip hintereinander anzuordnen. WO 97/50132 discloses a light source having an LED chip disposed on a circuit board within a recess of a base housing. The recess is formed in terms of its shape as a reflector for the radiation emitted by the LED chip during operation. A light disk with a luminophore is arranged above the reflector, since the recess is covered by a luminescence conversion layer, for example a cover plate produced separately and fastened to the base housing. The LED chip is encapsulated with encapsulant since the recess may be filled with a transparent plastic or an inorganic glass. WO 97/50132 also teaches to arrange a plurality of spectrally selectively emitting luminescence conversion elements in a row relative to the LED chip.

OFFENBARUNG DER ERFINDUNGDISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Lichtquelle der eingangs genannten Art so abzuändern, dass mit ihr bei gleichzeitig hoher Lichtausbeute und hoher Farbwiedergabequalität Weißlichtfarben mit wärmeren Farbtemperaturen erzeugt werden können, insbesondere diejenigen Farborte, die innerhalb der von der CIE für die Allgemeinbeleuchtung festgelegten Toleranzellipsen liegen.It is an object of the present invention to modify a light source of the type mentioned above so that white light colors with warmer color temperatures can be generated with it with high light output and high color rendering quality, in particular those color locations that are within the set by the CIE for general lighting tolerance ellipses ,

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Lichtquelle der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die abhängigen Ansprüche bilden die Erfindung vorteilhaft weiter.This object is achieved by a light source of the type mentioned according to the invention by the features of claim 1. The dependent claims further advantageously form the invention.

Ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Lichtquelle wird in Anspruch 7 definiert.A method for producing a light source according to the invention is defined in claim 7.

Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass weißes Licht mit guter Farbwiedergabe und hoher Lichtausbeute durch Kombination einer blauen LED mit einem Luminophor, ausgewählt aus der Gruppe der europiumaktivierten Erdalkaliorthosilikate oben genannter Zusammensetzung, realisiert werden kann. Im Gegensatz zu Luminophoren, die auf reinen Bariumorthosilikaten basieren und bläulich-grünes Licht ausstrahlen, kann nämlich durch Barium-Strontium-OrthosilikatMischkristalle gelb-grünes, gelbes bis gelb-orangefarbenes und durch Einbau von Calcium in das Orthosilikatgitter sogar vollständig orangefarbenes Lumineszenzlicht erzeugt werden, so dass dann durch Mischung des transmittierten Lichtes der blauen LED und des emittierten Lumineszenzlichtes des ausgewählten Luminophors weißes Licht hoher Farbwiedergabe und hoher Effizienz generiert werden kann. Die Verschiebung der Emissionsfarbe durch Substitution von Ba durch Sr in Orthosilikaten war bisher nur für die Anregung mit harter UV-Strahlung (254nm-Anregung) aus der oben genannten Arbeit von Poort et al. bekannt; dass dieser Effekt überraschender Weise verstärkt bei der Bestrahlung mit blauem Licht im Bereich von 440-475 nm auftritt, wurde dagegen noch nicht beschrieben. Ba-Sr-Ca-Orthosilikatmischkristalle und ihr starkes Emissionsvermögen bei Anregung mit langwelliger UV-Strahlung oder blauem Licht waren bisher gänzlich unbekannt.Surprisingly, it has been found that white light with good color rendering and high light output can be realized by combining a blue LED with a luminophore selected from the group of europium activated alkaline earth orthosilicates of the above-mentioned composition. In contrast to luminophores which are based on pure barium orthosilicates and emit bluish-green light, barium-strontium-orthosilicate mixed crystals can in fact produce yellow-green, yellow to yellow-orange and even completely orange luminescent light by incorporation of calcium into the orthosilicate lattice that then by mixing the transmitted light of the blue LED and the emitted luminescent light of the selected luminophore white light high color rendering and high efficiency can be generated. The shift of the emission color by substitution of Ba by Sr in orthosilicates was previously only for the excitation with hard UV radiation (254nm excitation) from the above work by Poort et al. known; on the other hand, this effect has surprisingly appeared to be increased when irradiated with blue light in the range of 440-475 nm. Ba-Sr-Ca orthosilicate mixed crystals and their high emissivity when excited by long-wave UV or blue light were previously unknown.

Der ausgewählte Luminophor kann auch in Mischungen mit anderen Luminophoren dieser Gruppe und/oder mit zusätzlichen Leuchtstoffen, die nicht zu dieser Gruppe gehören, eingesetzt werden. Zu den letztgenannten Leuchtstoffen gehören z.B. blau emittierende Erdalkalialuminate, aktiviert mit zweiwertigem Europium und/oder Mangan, sowie die rot emittierenden Luminophore aus der Gruppe Y(V,P,Si)O4 :Eu, Bi, Y2O2S:Eu,Bi oder aber europium- und manganaktivierte Erdalkali-Magnesium-disi-likate :Eu2+,Mn2+ der Formel

 und Me = Ba und/oder Sr und/oder Ca.The selected luminophore may also be used in mixtures with other phosphors of this group and / or with additional phosphors not belonging to this group. The latter phosphors include, for example, blue-emitting alkaline earth aluminates activated with divalent europium and / or manganese, and the red emitting luminophores from the group Y (V, P, Si) O 4 : Eu, Bi, Y 2 O 2 S: Eu, Bi or europium- and manganese-activated alkaline earth magnesium disilicates: Eu 2+ , Mn 2+ of the formula

Wie in den unten angeführten Ausführungsbeispielen gezeigt wird, darf der Sr-Anteil in den Misch-kristall-Luminophoren nicht zu gering sein, um weißes Licht generieren zu können.As shown in the embodiments below, the Sr content in the mixed crystal phosphors must not be too low to generate white light.

Überraschender Weise wurde weiters gefunden, dass der zusätzliche Einbau von P2O5, Al2O3 und/oder B2O3 in das Orthosilikatgitter sowie die Substitution eines Teils des Siliciums durch Germanium ebenfalls einen beträchtlichen Einfluss auf das Emissionsspektrum des jeweiligen Luminophors haben, so dass dieses für den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall in vorteilhafter Weise weiter variiert werden kann. Dabei bewirken kleinere Ionen als Si(IV) im Allgemeinen eine Verschiebung des Emissionsmaximum in den längerwelligen Bereich, während größere Ionen den Emissionsschwerpunkt zu kürzeren Wellenlängen verschieben. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden, dass es für die Kristallinität, das Emissionsvermögen und insbesondere für die Stabilität der erfindungsgemäßen Luminophore vorteilhaft sein kann, wenn zusätzlich geringe Mengen einwertiger Ionen wie z.B. Halogenide und/oder Alkalimetallionen in das Luminophorgitter eingebaut werden.Surprisingly, it was further found that the additional incorporation of P 2 O 5 , Al 2 O 3 and / or B 2 O 3 in the Orthosilikatgitter and the substitution of a portion of the silicon by germanium also have a significant influence on the emission spectrum of the respective luminophore , so that this can be further varied for the particular application in an advantageous manner. Smaller ions than Si (IV) generally cause the emission maximum to shift to the longer wavelength region, while larger ions shift the emission focus to shorter wavelengths move. Furthermore, it has been shown that it can be advantageous for the crystallinity, the emissivity and in particular for the stability of the luminophores according to the invention if, in addition, small amounts of monovalent ions such as, for example, halides and / or alkali metal ions are incorporated into the luminophore lattice.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Lichtquelle zumindest zwei verschiedene Luminophore auf, wobei zumindest einer ein Erdalkaliorthosilikatleuchtstoff ist. Auf diese Weise lässt sich der für die jeweilige Anwendung geforderte Weißton besonders genau einstellen und es lassen sich insbesondere Ra-Werte größer 80 erreichen. Eine weitere vorteilhafte Variante der Erfindung besteht in der Kombination einer im ultravioletten Bereich des Spektrums, beispielsweise im Bereich zwischen 370 und 390 nm, emittierenden LED mit zumindest drei Leuchtstoffen, von denen zumindest einer ein Erdalkaliorthosilikatleuchtstoff ist. Als zusätzliche Leuchtstoffe können in den entsprechenden Leuchtstoffmischungen blau emittierende Erdalkalialuminate, aktiviert mit Europium und/oder Mangan und/oder rot emittierende Luminophore aus der Gruppe Y(V,P,Si)O4:Eu,Bi, Y2O2S:Eu,Bi oder aber aus der Gruppe der europium- und manganaktivierten Erdalkali-Magnesiumdisilikate eingesetzt werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the light source has at least two different luminophores, wherein at least one is an alkaline earth orthosilicate phosphor. In this way, the white tone required for the respective application can be set particularly precisely and, in particular, Ra values greater than 80 can be achieved. A further advantageous variant of the invention consists in the combination of a LED emitting in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, for example in the range between 370 and 390 nm, with at least three phosphors, of which at least one is an alkaline earth orthosilicate phosphor. As additional phosphors in the corresponding phosphor mixtures blue emitting alkaline earth aluminates, activated with europium and / or manganese and / or red emitting luminophores from the group Y (V, P, Si) O 4 : Eu, Bi, Y 2 O 2 S: Eu , Bi or else from the group of europium- and manganese-activated alkaline earth magnesium disilicates.

Für die mechanische Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Lichtquelle gibt es mehrere Möglichkeiten. Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass ein oder mehrere LED-Chips auf einer Leiterplatte innerhalb eines Reflektors angeordnet sind und der Luminophor in einer Lichtscheibe, die über dem Reflektor angeordnet ist, dispergiert ist.There are several possibilities for the mechanical design of the light source according to the invention. According to the invention it is provided that one or more LED chips are arranged on a printed circuit board within a reflector and the luminophore is dispersed in a lens, which is arranged above the reflector.

Es ist aber auch möglich, dass ein oder mehrere LED-Chips auf einer Leiterplatte innerhalb eines Reflektors angeordnet sind und der Luminophor auf dem Reflektor aufgebracht ist.But it is also possible that one or more LED chips are arranged on a circuit board within a reflector and the luminophore is applied to the reflector.

Vorzugsweise sind die LED-Chips mit einer transparenten Vergussmasse, die kuppelartige Form besitzt, vergossen. Diese Vergussmasse bildet einerseits einen mechanischen Schutz, andererseits verbessert sie auch die optischen Eigenschaften (besserer Austritt des Lichts aus den LED-Dice).Preferably, the LED chips are encapsulated with a transparent potting compound having a dome-like shape. This potting compound forms a mechanical protection on the one hand, on the other hand it also improves the optical properties (better exit of the light from the LED dice).

Der Luminophor kann auch in einer Vergussmasse dispergiert sein, die eine Anordnung von LED-Chips auf einer Leiterplatte und eine Polymerlinse möglichst ohne Gaseinschlüsse verbindet, wobei die Polymerlinse und die Vergussmasse Brechungsindizes aufweisen, die sich maximal um 0,1 unterscheiden. Diese Vergussmasse kann direkt die LED-Dice einschließen, es ist aber auch möglich, dass diese mit einer transparenten Vergussmasse vergossen sind (dann gibt es also eine transparente Vergussmasse und eine Vergussmasse mit dem Luminophor). Durch die ähnlichen Brechungsindizes gibt es an den Grenzflächen kaum Verluste durch Reflexion.The luminophore can also be dispersed in a potting compound which connects an arrangement of LED chips on a printed circuit board and a polymer lens as far as possible without gas inclusions, wherein the polymer lens and the potting compound have refractive indices which differ by a maximum of 0.1. This potting compound can directly enclose the LED dice, but it is also possible that they are encapsulated with a transparent potting compound (then there is a transparent potting compound and a potting compound with the luminophore). Due to the similar refractive indices, there are hardly any losses due to reflection at the interfaces.

Vorzugsweise weist die Polymerlinse eine kugel- bzw. ellipsoidförmige Ausnehmung auf, welche durch die Vergussmasse ausgefüllt ist, sodass das LED-Array in geringem Abstand zur Polymerlinse befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Höhe des mechanischen Aufbaus verringert werden.Preferably, the polymer lens has a spherical or ellipsoidal recess, which is filled by the potting compound, so that the LED array is attached at a small distance to the polymer lens. In this way, the height of the mechanical structure can be reduced.

Um eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Luminophors zu erreichen, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Luminophor in einer vorzugsweise anorganischen Matrix aufgeschlämmt ist.In order to achieve a uniform distribution of the luminophore, it is expedient if the luminophore is slurried in a preferably inorganic matrix.

Bei Verwendung von zumindest zwei Luminophoren ist es günstig, wenn die zumindest zwei Luminophore einzeln in Matrizen dispergiert sind, die in Lichtausbreitung hintereinander angeordnet sind. Dadurch kann die Konzentration der Luminophore im Vergleich zu einer einheitlichen Dispersion der verschiedenen Luminophore reduziert werden.When using at least two luminophores, it is favorable if the at least two luminophores are individually dispersed in matrices which are arranged one behind the other in light propagation. This can reduce the concentration of the luminophores compared to a uniform dispersion of the different luminophores.

Nachfolgend sind die wesentlichen Schritte zur Herstellung der Luminophore in einer bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung dargestellt:The main steps for producing the luminophores in a preferred variant of the invention are shown below:

Für die Herstellung der Erdalkaliorthosilikat-Luminophore werden entsprechend der gewählten Zusammensetzung die stöchiometrischen Mengen der Ausgangsstoffe Erdalkalicarbonat, Siliciumdioxid sowie Europiumoxid innig gemischt und in einer für die Leuchtstoffherstellung üblichen Festkörperreaktion in reduzierender Atmosphäre bei Temperaturen zwischen 1100°C und 1400°C in den gewünschten Luminophor umgewandelt. Dabei ist es für die Kristallinität von Vorteil, der Reaktionsmischung kleine Anteile, vorzugsweise kleiner als 0,2 Mol, Ammoniumchlorid oder andere Halogenide zuzugeben. Im Sinne der aufgezeigten Erfindung kann auch ein Teil des Siliciums durch Germanium, Bor, Aluminium, Phosphor ersetzt werden, was durch Zugabe entsprechender Mengen von Verbindungen der genannten Elemente, die sich thermisch in Oxide zersetzen lassen, realisiert wird. In ähnlicher Weise kann erreicht werden, dass geringe Mengen von Alkalimetallionen in das jeweilige Gitter eingebaut werden.For the production of Erdalkaliorthosilikat-Luminophor the stoichiometric amounts of the starting materials alkaline earth metal carbonate, silica and europium oxide are intimately mixed according to the selected composition and in a usual for phosphor production solid state reaction in a reducing atmosphere at temperatures between 1100 ° C and 1400 ° C converted into the desired luminophore. It is advantageous for the crystallinity, the reaction mixture small proportions, preferably less than 0.2 mol, ammonium chloride or other halides add. For the purposes of the invention shown, a portion of the silicon can be replaced by germanium, boron, aluminum, phosphorus, which is realized by adding appropriate amounts of compounds of said elements, which can be thermally decompose into oxides. Similarly, it can be achieved that small amounts of alkali metal ions are incorporated into the respective lattice.

Die erhaltenen Orthosilikatluminophore emittieren bei Wellenlängen zwischen etwa 510 nm und 600 nm und besitzen eine Halbwertsbreite bis zu 110 nm.The resulting orthosilicate luminophores emit at wavelengths between about 510 nm and 600 nm and have a half-value width of up to 110 nm.

Durch entsprechende Gestaltung der Reaktionsparameter und durch bestimmte Zusätze, z.B. von einwertigen Halogenid - und/oder Alkalimetallionen, kann die Korngrößenverteilung der erfindungsgemäßen Luminophore an die Anforderungen der jeweiligen Anwendung optimal angepasst werden, ohne dass schädigende mechanische Zerkleinerungsprozesse durchgeführt werden müssen. Auf diese Weise lassen sich alle schmal- und breitbandigen Korngrößenverteilungen mit mittleren Korngrößen d50 von etwa 2 µm bis 20 µm einstellen.By appropriate design of the reaction parameters and by certain additives, for example of monohydric halide and / or alkali metal ions, the particle size distribution of the luminophores according to the invention can be optimally adapted to the requirements of the particular application, without damaging mechanical comminuting processes having to be carried out. In this way, all narrow and broadband grain size distributions can be set with average particle sizes d 50 of about 2 microns to 20 microns.

Die Lichtquelle gemäß der Erfindung weist wenigstens einen LED-Chip auf, der auf einer Leiterplatte angeordnet ist, wobei der wenigstens eine LED-Chip auf der Leiterplatte innerhalb eines Reflektors angeordnet ist, wobei eine Lichtscheibe über dem Reflektor angeordnet ist, und wobei in diese Lichtscheibe ein Luminophor eingemischt ist.The light source according to the invention comprises at least one LED chip which is arranged on a printed circuit board, wherein the at least one LED chip is arranged on the printed circuit board within a reflector, wherein a lens is arranged above the reflector, and wherein in this lens a luminophore is mixed in.

Der wenigstens eine LED-Chip erzeugt vorzugsweise blaues Licht oder UV-Strahlung, welches bzw. welche durch die Lichtscheibe hindurchtritt und beim Durchgang anteilig durch den Luminophor in einen zweiten Spektralbereich konvertiert wird, so dass sich insgesamt ein weisser Farbeindruck ergibt.The at least one LED chip preferably generates blue light or UV radiation, which passes through the lens and is converted during the passage proportionately through the luminophore into a second spectral range, so that the overall result is a white color impression.

Der wenigstens eine LED-Chip ist mit Einkapselmittel vergossen.The at least one LED chip is encapsulated with encapsulant.

Die Einkapselmittel sind vorzugsweise kuppelartig, in der Form einer Halbkugel oder eines Halbellipsoids ausgebildet.The encapsulants are preferably dome-like, in the form of a hemisphere or a semi-ellipsoid.

Die Einkapselmittel umfassen vorzugsweise jeden LED-Chip einzeln oder stellen eine gemeinsame Form für alle LED-Chips dar.The encapsulant preferably comprises each LED chip individually or represents a common shape for all LED chips.

Die Lichtscheibe ist beabstandet oberhalb der Einkapselmittel angeordnet.The lens is spaced above the encapsulant.

Die Einkapselmittel sind vorzugsweise eine Vergussmasse.The encapsulants are preferably a potting compound.

Die Lichtscheibe weist vorzugsweise opake oder streuende Eigenschaften auf.The lens preferably has opaque or diffusing properties.

Zumindest zwei verschiedene Luminophore werden eingesetzt.At least two different luminophores are used.

Der erste Luminophor ist auf dem Reflektor aufgebracht und der zweite Luminophor ist in der Lichtscheibe eingebracht.The first luminophore is applied to the reflector and the second luminophore is incorporated in the lens.

KURZE BESCHREIBUNG DER ZEICHNUNGENBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung werden im Folgenden anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und Figuren erläutert.Further advantages of the invention will be explained below with reference to exemplary embodiments and figures.

Fig. 1-6 zeigen Spektren (relative Intensität I abhängig von der Wellenlänge) verschiedener LED-Lichtquellen; und die Fig. 7-10 zeigen verschiedene Ausführungsformen erfindungsgemäßer LED-Lichtquellen. Fig. 1-6 show spectra (relative intensity I depending on the wavelength) of different LED light sources; and the Fig. 7-10 show various embodiments of inventive LED light sources.

BESTE AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMEN DER ERFINDUNGBEST EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 zeigt das Emissionsspektrum einer weißen LED mit einer Farbtemperatur von 2700 K, die durch Kombination einer in einem ersten Spektralbereich mit einer Schwerpunktswellenlänge von 464 nm emittierenden blauen LED und einem Luminophor der Zusammensetzung (Sr1,4Ca0,6SiO4:Eu2+), der in einem zweiten Spektralbereich mit einem Maximum von 596 nm emittiert, entstanden ist. Fig. 1 shows the emission spectrum of a white LED with a color temperature of 2700 K, which is obtained by combining a blue LED emitting in a first spectral range with a centroid wavelength of 464 nm and a luminophore of the composition (Sr 1.4 Ca 0.6 SiO 4 : Eu 2+ ), which emits in a second spectral range with a maximum of 596 nm.

Weitere Beispiele für die Kombination einer bei 464 nm emittierenden LED mit jeweils einem Othosilikatluminophor sind in den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt. Wird ein gelb emittierender Luminophor der Zusammensetzung Sr1,90Ba0,08 Ca0,02SiO4:Eu2+ zur Farbkonvertierung verwendet, kann eine Weißlichtfarbe mit einer Farbtemperatur von 4100 K eingestellt werden, während bei der Verwendung des Luminophors Sr1,84Ba0,16SiO4:Eu2+ beispielsweise eine Weißlichtquelle mit einer Farbtemperatur von 6500 K gefertigt werden kann.Further examples of the combination of an emitting at 464 nm LED, each with an Othosilikatluminophor are in the FIGS. 2 and 3 shown. If a yellow-emitting luminophore of composition Sr 1.90 Ba 0.08 Ca 0.02 SiO 4 : Eu 2+ is used for color conversion, a white light color with a color temperature of 4100 K can be set, while when using the luminophore Sr 1, 84 Ba 0.16 SiO 4 : Eu 2+, for example, a white light source with a color temperature of 6500 K can be produced.

Ein typisches Spektrum für die Kombination einer 464 nm - LED mit zwei Orthosilikatluminophoren zeigt Fig. 4. Die verwendeten Leuchtstoffe weisen die Zusammensetzungen Sr1,4Ca0,6SiO4:Eu2+ und Sr1,00Ba1,00SiO4:Eu2 auf. Für das in der Abbildung 4 dargestellte konkrete Spektrum werden eine Farbtemperatur von 5088K und ein Farbwiedergabeindex Ra von 82 erhalten. Allerdings können in Abhängigkeit von den gewählten Mengenverhältnissen der Luminophore alle Farbtemperaturen im Bereich zwischen etwa 3500 K und 7500 K realisiert werden, wobei der große Vorteil derartiger Mischungen aus zwei erfindungsgemäßen Erdalkaliorthosilikat-Luminophoren vor allem darin besteht, dass zugleich Ra-Werte größer 80 erreicht werden können.A typical spectrum for the combination of a 464 nm LED with two orthosilicate phosphors is shown Fig. 4 , The phosphors used have the compositions Sr 1.4 Ca 0.6 SiO 4 : Eu 2+ and Sr 1.00 Ba 1.00 SiO 4 : Eu 2 . For that in the Figure 4 shown concrete spectrum are obtained a color temperature of 5088K and a color rendering index Ra of 82. However, depending on the chosen proportions of luminophores all color temperatures in the range between about 3500 K and 7500 K can be realized, the great advantage of such mixtures of two Erdalkaliorthosilikat-Luminophor invention is mainly that at the same time Ra values greater than 80 are achieved can.

Das wird in der Fig. 5 beispielhaft dokumentiert. Das dargestellte Spektrum steht für die Kombination einer 464 nm - LED mit einer Mischung aus den zwei Luminophoren Sr1,6Ca0,4Si0,98Ga0,02O4:Eu2+ und Sr1,10Ba0,90SiO4:Eu2 und liefert bei einer Farbtemperatur von 5000K einen Ra-Werte von 82.That will be in the Fig. 5 exemplified. The spectrum shown represents the combination of a 464 nm LED with a mixture of the two luminophores Sr 1.6 Ca 0.4 Si 0.98 Ga 0.02 O 4 : Eu 2+ and Sr 1.10 Ba 0.90 SiO 4 : Eu 2 and gives a Ra value of 82 at a color temperature of 5000K.

Wird als strahlungsemittierendes Element eine UV-LED verwendet, die in einem ersten Spektralbereich mit einem Maximum von 370-390nm emittiert, dann lassen sich durch Kombination einer solchen LED mit einer Leuchtstoffmischung, die die Luminophore von Fig. 4 und zugleich einen bestimmten Anteil eines blau-grün emittierenden Barium-Magnesium-Aluminatleuchtstoff:Eu,Mn enthält, Ra-Werte größer 90 realisieren. Die Fig. 6 zeigt das Emissionsspektrum einer entsprechenden Weißlichtquelle, die bei einer Farbtemperatur von 6500K einen Ra von 91 aufweist.If a UV-LED emitting in a first spectral range with a maximum of 370-390 nm is used as the radiation-emitting element, then by combining such an LED with a fluorescent mixture containing the luminophores of Fig. 4 and at the same time a certain proportion of a blue-green emitting barium-magnesium aluminate phosphor: Eu, Mn contains Ra realize values greater than 90. The Fig. 6 shows the emission spectrum of a corresponding white light source having a Ra of 91 at a color temperature of 6500K.

In einer bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung wird die Farbkonversion folgendermaßen durchgeführt:In a preferred variant of the invention, the color conversion is carried out as follows:

Ein oder mehrere LED-Chips 1 (siehe Fig. 7) werden auf einer Leiterplatte 2 assembliert. Direkt über den LEDs wird (einerseits zum Schutz der LED-Chips und andererseits um das im LED-Chip erzeugte Licht besser auskoppeln zu können) ein Einkapselmittel 3 in der Form einer Halbkugel oder eines Halbellipsoids angeordnet. Dieses Verkapselmittel 3 kann entweder jeden Die einzeln umfassen, oder es kann eine gemeinsame Form für alle LEDs darstellen. Die derart bestückte Leiterplatte 2 wird in einen Reflektor 4 eingesetzt bzw. dieser wird über die LED-Chips 1 gestülpt.One or more LED chips 1 (see Fig. 7 ) are assembled on a printed circuit board 2. Directly above the LEDs is (on the one hand to protect the LED chips and on the other hand in order to better decouple the light generated in the LED chip can be arranged) an encapsulant 3 in the form of a hemisphere or a semi-ellipsoid. This encapsulant 3 may either comprise each die individually, or it may represent a common shape for all LEDs. The so-equipped printed circuit board 2 is inserted into a reflector 4 or this is placed over the LED chips 1.

Auf den Reflektor 4 wird eine Lichtscheibe 5 gesetzt. Diese dient einerseits dem Schutz der Anordnung, anderseits werden in diese Lichtscheibe die Luminophore 6 eingemischt. Das blaue Licht (oder die ultraviolette Strahlung), das durch die Lichtscheibe 5 hindurchtritt, wird beim Durchgang anteilig durch den Luminophor 6 in einen zweiten Spektralbereich konvertiert, so dass sich insgesamt ein weißer Farbeindruck ergibt. Verluste durch waveguiding-Effekte, wie diese bei planparallelen Platten auftreten, werden durch die opaken, streuenden Eigenschaften der Scheibe reduziert. Weiterhin sorgt der Reflektor 4 dafür, dass nur bereits vorgerichtetes Licht auf die Lichtscheibe 5 auftrifft, so dass Totalreflexionseffekte von vornherein reduziert werden.On the reflector 4, a lens 5 is set. This serves on the one hand to protect the arrangement, on the other hand, the luminophor 6 are mixed into this lens. The blue light (or ultraviolet radiation) passing through the lens 5 is proportionately converted by the luminophore 6 into a second spectral region as it passes through, resulting in an overall white color impression. Losses due to waveguiding effects, as they occur in plane-parallel plates, are caused by the opaque, scattering Properties of the disc reduced. Furthermore, the reflector 4 ensures that only pre-directed light impinges on the lens 5, so that total reflection effects are reduced from the outset.

Es ist auch möglich, den Luminophor 6 auf den Reflektor 4 aufzutragen, wie dies in Fig. 8 dargestellt ist. Es ist dann keine Lichtscheibe erforderlich.It is also possible to apply the luminophore 6 to the reflector 4, as shown in FIG Fig. 8 is shown. There is then no lens required.

Alternativ dazu kann über jedem LED-Chip 1 (siehe Fig. 9) ein Reflektor 4' aufgesetzt sein und dieser kuppelförmig ausgegossen werden (Einkapselmittel 3') und eine Lichtscheibe 5 über jedem Reflektor 3' bzw. über der gesamten Anordnung angeordnet werden.Alternatively, over each LED chip 1 (see Fig. 9 ) a reflector 4 'be placed and this are dome-shaped poured out (encapsulant 3') and a lens 5 above each reflector 3 'or over the entire arrangement can be arranged.

Für die Herstellung von Beleuchtungsquellen ist es zweckmäßig, anstelle von Einzel-LEDs LED-Arrays zu verwenden. In einer bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung wird die Farbkonversion auf einem LED-Array 1' (siehe Fig. 10), bei welchem die LED-Chips 1 direkt auf der Leiterplatte 2 assembliert werden, in folgender Form durchgeführt:For the production of illumination sources, it is expedient to use LED arrays instead of single LEDs. In a preferred variant of the invention, the color conversion on an LED array 1 '(see Fig. 10 ), in which the LED chips 1 are assembled directly on the printed circuit board 2, carried out in the following form:

Ein LED-Array 1' (siehe Fig. 10) wird mittels einer Vergussmasse 3 (z.B. Epoxid) an eine transparente Polymerlinse 7, die aus einem anderen Material (z.B. PMMA) besteht, angeklebt. Das Material der Polymerlinse 7 und der Vergussmasse 3 werden derart ausgewählt, dass diese möglichst ähnliche Brechzahlen aufweisen - also phasenangepasst sind. Die Vergussmasse 3 befindet sich in einer maximal kugelförmigen oder ellipsoidförmigen Aushöhlung der Polymerlinse 7. Die Form der Aushöhlung ist insofern von Bedeutung, da in der Vergussmasse 3 das Farbkonversionsmaterial dispergiert ist, und daher durch die Formgebung sichergestellt werden kann, dass winkelunabhängige Emissionsfarben erzeugt werden. Alternativ dazu kann das Array zuerst mit einer transparenten Vergussmasse vergossen werden und anschließend mittels der Vergussmasse, die das Farbkonversionsmaterial beinhaltet, an die Polymerlinse geklebt werden.An LED array 1 '(see Fig. 10 ) is adhered by means of a potting compound 3 (eg epoxy) to a transparent polymer lens 7, which consists of a different material (eg PMMA). The material of the polymer lens 7 and the potting compound 3 are selected such that they have the most similar refractive indices possible - ie are phase-matched. The potting compound 3 is located in a maximum spherical or ellipsoidal cavity of the polymer lens 7. The shape of the cavity is important in that in the potting compound 3, the color conversion material is dispersed, and therefore can be ensured by the shaping that angle-independent emission colors are generated. Alternatively, the array may first be potted with a transparent potting compound and then adhered to the polymer lens by the potting compound containing the color conversion material.

Zur Herstellung weißer LEDs mit besonders guter Farbwiedergabe, bei denen zumindest zwei verschiedene Luminophore eingesetzt werden, ist es günstig, diese nicht gemeinsam in einer Matrix zu dispergieren, sondern diese getrennt zu dispergieren und aufzubringen. Dies gilt speziell für Kombinationen, bei denen die endgültige Lichtfarbe durch einen mehrstufigen Farbkonversionsprozess erzeugt wird. D.h., dass die langwelligste Emissionsfarbe durch einen Emissionsprozess generiert wird, der wie folgt abläuft: Absorption der LED-Emission durch den ersten Luminophor - Emission des ersten Luminophors - Absorption der Emission des ersten Luminophors durch den zweiten Luminophor und Emission des zweiten Luminophors. Speziell für einen derartigen Prozess ist es zu bevorzugen, die einzelnen Materialien in Lichtausbreitungsrichtung hintereinander anzuordnen, da damit die Konzentration der Materialien im Vergleich zu einer einheitlichen Dispersion der verschiedenen Materialien reduziert werden kann.For the production of white LEDs with particularly good color rendering using at least two different luminophores it is beneficial not to disperse them together in a matrix, but to disperse and apply them separately. This is especially true for combinations where the final light color is produced by a multi-level color conversion process. That is, the longest wavelength emission color is generated by an emission process that proceeds as follows: absorption of the LED emission by the first luminophore - emission of the first luminophore - absorption of the emission of the first luminophore by the second luminophore and emission of the second luminophore. Especially for such a process, it is preferable to arrange the individual materials one behind the other in the direction of light propagation since this can reduce the concentration of the materials compared to a uniform dispersion of the different materials.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die beschriebenen Beispiele eingeschränkt. Die Luminophore könnten auch in der Polymerlinse (oder einer anderen Optik) eingebracht sein. Es ist auch möglich, den Luminophor direkt über dem LED-Dice oder auf der Oberfläche der transparenten Vergussmasse anzuordnen. Auch kann der Luminophor zusammen mit Streupartikeln in eine Matrix eingebracht werden. Dadurch wird ein Absinken in der Matrix verhindert und ein gleichmäßiger Lichtaustritt gewährleistet.The present invention is not limited to the examples described. The luminophores could also be incorporated in the polymer lens (or other optic). It is also possible to arrange the luminophore directly over the LED dice or on the surface of the transparent potting compound. The luminophore can also be introduced into a matrix together with scattering particles. As a result, a drop in the matrix is prevented and ensures a uniform light emission.
